I was wondering if 19x8.5 +38 offset is a pretty good fit for an Altima? Would I need to buy some spacers
for it to flush out?

19x8.5 +30 is perfectly flush to the fender but still looks hella sunk.

For a daily driving application, what you have put out there is the best setup. 19x8.5 +38 is also good if you're lowered (say with Eibachs).

If you want to lower your car at all, the +30 setup suggested might rub over bumps and stuff. It all depends on what you want and how you drive/where you drive. The +38 is the most common application for the coupe that I've seen. There are lots of guys that have been experimenting with tons of different sizes and offsets, so hopefully they'll chime in here.

Yeah you'd need spacers. I'd say +30 on 8.5 is almost to pretty flush. +27 is unquestionably flush from first hand experience

Ahh okay thank you. And yeah it's a daily driving car and also lowered w/ Eibachs lol.

I thought so too. I don't think they have a +30 on an 8.5 on those rims, but i'll recheck if so, i'll prob get that.. Thanks though bro.

There's a staggered one that's 19x8.5 +15 Front 19x10 +20 Rear. That'll probably end up being hella flush and
rolling my fenders huh? It's kinda hard to find rims to match a Dark Slate gray coupe, you guys have any suggestions
of any good rims?

19x10 +20 is the most aggressive stance proposed so far.

Definite fender pull, not just roll/trim

I don't think polished wheels would look bad on dark slate.

Yeah it does look good on any color, I actually have the polished wheels (DrifZ Nos).
But it's played out, that's why I'm planning to buy some new rims. Lol

Quick question regarding 19x8.5's. Is 235/35/19 a good tire to run with these? Also I will be lowered on Eibachs. Thanks!

I didn't mean that they look bad. I like polished wheels. But he seems worried about what color would match his car, almost as if all colors look bad on his car and I said polished wouldn't look bad.

And yeah those tires would fit

Most colors look good on dark slate!

Black, gunmetal, white, gold, bronze, silver, polished

Proper sizing is MUCH more important than color IMO
